  • Title: [Combined effects of radiation and iodine deficiency on pregnancy and fetus].
    Author: Liaginskaia AM, Osipov VA.

    Abstract:
    The Chernobyl accident had combined effects of radiation and iodine deficiency (ID) on pregnancy. The establishment of a role of each of these factors in the genesis of comorbidity is of fundamental importance in the assessment of a radiation risk and in the development of goal-oriented preventive measures for reproductive health and antenatal development of an infant. The problem of impact of ID on fetal radiation damages is mainly that on radiation damages to the thyroid. The solution of this problem assumes particular topicality if radiation damages are due to the incorporation of radioactive iodine. The findings are indicative of the summation of thyroid abnormalities characteristic for each influencing factor. There is a more pronounced biological effect of radioactive iodine in the thyroid in ID.
